OK so everytime I go on this website, all I see is negativity about iOS 13. Yes, there are some bugs that need to be ironed out, but come on people, Apple is doing the best they can, you should all be lucky that Apple even has accessibility in all of their devices. Be greatful for what you have, not what you don't. It's very sad to hear all of the negativity that I'm seeing regarding iOS 13. I'm running the latest iOS build and not experiencing nearly the bugs that are mentioned here. If you went to android, you'd regret it in a minute so stop knocking Apple!!
iOS and iPadOS

I'm using an iPhone 8, and just updated to the latest software version. I noticed that things were a little screwed up, so I reset the settings. The phone powered back on, but when I tried to get into voicdOver by pressing the home button three times, nothing happened. I wanted to restart the phone, so I pressed and held the power button to turn it off, but nothing happened. I can tell it's on, but that's about it. Any help would be much appreciated@

Hi Everyone!! Just wanted to tell you all about this new app I am obsessed with!! It's called Blab and I heard about it the other day on Periscope. It's just like Periscope except a group of up to four people can broadcast instead of just the one person. Like Periscope, it's video and audio. I have found lots of interesting content on it. People blab about everything from just hanging out to more serious stuff such as doing podcasts, shows, marketing, social media, education, and panel discussions. It's neat to listen to a whole group of people instead just the one.

On my new iPhone 16 Pro Max, the Karen Australian voice, not the enhanced or premium, but the regular voice, fades in and out when swiping from item to item on my Home Screen. It gets loud and then fades, almost as if the speaker was being covered up. I have Audio Ducking set to off. This doesn't happen if I listen to VO through my AirPods Pro, and it doesn't happen with any other voices, only Karen. The funny thing is that on my old iPhone 14 Pro, this doesn't happen either. The fading in and out is quite slight, but enough to be annoying.

I will be typing away on my ipad ios 9.1 using the onscreen keyboard when suddenly Voiceover says "new line" as if I've hit the return key but I have not. It happens a lot. Any ideas about why this is happening? Its not like typing a wrong character and deleting it. Its a royal pain to fix and get back on track.

Hello everyone! I am an app developer and I wanted to introduce our latest app which is now featured by Apple as one of their favorite accessibility apps.
The app is intended for all ages and designed to replace math anxiety with math positivity, allowing you to practice with different challenges and keep your mind sharp.

I have found KeePassium to be probably the best password manager for iOS that uses the KeePass database technology. Specifically, I have compared it with KeePass Touch and Strongbox, finding that KeePassium is the most accessible and supports most features for free among those.

Hi, is it accessible? I can't figure out how to auto fill on the iPhone using Keeper. Thanks.

Hi all. For some reason, even though the global setting of having audio description is enabled, I never know if audio description is on in a particcular show, I.E. NCIS, or That 70's Show. For instance, I'll play an episode, and when I look in the audio and subtitle section, english, CC, is always not selected. so i turn it on, and by the next episode, the description seems to be turned off again. I know not all episodes probably have description, but I can't figure out why I need to enalbe this every time. If anyone has seen this or can help, let me know. Thanks so much.

Hi everyone. I've noticed recently that Uber's being strange about my address. I used to put in Home, and it would always have it set to pick me up at home. This is an apartment complex, I do know that you can't physically move the map pin. Here's my question though. Lyft, once I set my location doesn't change. With Uber though, it moves me to I think another builting that isn't very close to me. Now i can just fix this each time. Is there a way to keep the address set to Home?

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone is using the Keurig app for some of the new smart brewers. I have one of these coming soon, and just wondering how well the app will or will not work with Voiceover. I think it's pretty cool that there are now brewers that can be controlled via smart phone.

Hi, I've been thinking about using key base to store and share files because it gives you a lot more space than dropbox or any other storage platform. Does anyone know if the app is accessible on IPad OS?

When I am entering email I always get key echo even though I have turned off both software and hardware echo. Does anybody else have this problem? And even as I type this message I am getting key echo although not consistently. When I called apple accessibility their answer is screen sharing so that we can make sure it is really off. I don't have wireless at home because I don't use that much data but that seems to be their only answer. We need to do screen sharing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

I'm using the latest version of iOS 13 on an SE2 which I just got a week ago. I noticed that even though I have key repeat turned on, it does not work. I was working with Apple Support as we tried different things including unpairing and repairing blue tooth connection to my apple wireless keyboard, turning on and off slide to type, restarting phone. WE then found that I have to shut off Voiceover in order for key repeat to work, which is not good. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hello, everyone. I updated my iPhone SE 2016 to IOS 15 when it was released, and I have been having nothing but problems ever since. I normally accomplish everything via my external qwerty keyboard and Orbit Writer. Usually, things are displayed in a linear fashion, from apps on the homescreen to the controls in various apps themselves. So I would start at the left and end at the right. Now, certain apps are all over the place.

What are the best third party keyboard applications that any of you folks are using in order to type quickly and accurately?
I have been using flick type keyboard for the past few years as it allows me to type on my iPhone with almost the same typing speed as my sighted friends.
Unfortunately flick type keyboard is stopping all development due to issues they are facing with the App Store.
I have tried Fleksy keyboard, however it is no where near as fast or as accurate as Flick Type was. Also Fleksy is not specifically designed for visually impaired users.
